Our Future Restoration Work

Restoration Committee Contracts with Spencer & Vogt Architects.

Spencer & Vogt Architects is a well-known and well- respected Boston area architectural firm that specializes in restoration and preservation of historic properties. Some of their many projects include Ames Chapel in Hingham, Emmanuel Church in Boston, First Church in Lancaster, First Church of Salem, and First Parish of Wayland.

In our work with principle architect, Lynne Spencer, we are focusing on the East-facing facade where there is the most concern.

With the formation of the Friends non-profit, the Restoration Committee will continue to work with Lynne Spencer and her firm in developing the projects that we can afford to take on. Needless to say, while some grants may be available, our success will depend largely on individual donations to the Friends from those of you who value the restoration and preservation of this iconic structure.

The eroded and missing mortar that is shown on the exterior photographs above is a direct cause to the damage that is shown on the interior photographs below.

All donations to Friends of First Parish Meetinghouse are tax-deductible. We are a nonprofit charitable organization that has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service under the terms of section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
